bmp2pic (Version 1.0, 21-OCT-2003, 27-APR-2005)


Convert BMP file to Fairlight MFX2 picfill picture file



usage: bmp2pic <BMP-file> <PIC-file> [16|32]

    16: 16-bit picfill format
    32: 32-bit picfill format (default)



Required BMP file format:
-------------------------
Windows format
256 x 256 pixels
24-bit color depth
1 plane
no compression

Note:
The Fairlight screen displays the picture with an aspect ratio of 4:3!
Therefore, the input BMP-file should be scaled 3:4 horizontally.



Usage example:
--------------
On PC:
  * convert picture: "bmp2pic demo.bmp demo.pic"
  * copy (e.g. via cmios9) demo.pic to OS9 disk (e.g. ZIP100)
On Fairlight MFX2 (running Rev11.39+):
  * exit to OS9-shell from CMI/MDR
    or press <TAB> key upon startup
  * start JKERNEL system: "j11"
  * display picture: "picfill /sc50/demo.pic ; sleep"
    (if /sc50 is the OS9 disk containing demo.pic)
  * to stop display: press <ctrl>-q

Note:
In order to customize the CMI/MDR-startup screen,
replace the file /k0/SYS/picture with the desired PIC-file.
